Abstrakt:

The main objective of this article is the investigation of the relationship between non-formal education and labour market performance. The focus of the study is on selected issues related to educational activity of the employed population, as well as potential link between non-formal education and the main labour market indicators. The paper is based on the comparative analysis of available statistical data for Poland and the United Kingdom. Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to describe and compare the scale and nature of non-formal training which is an important element of the current focus of lifelong learning policies in both countries. The study suggests that observed differences in educational activity may result from different levels of skill specialisation in the economy, employment protection and employees mobility in the labour market
